Born and raised in Ireland, Leah Murphy moved to England when she was 18 as she got her first professional football contract for Manchester City. This was a life long dream for Leah as she's been a city fan since she was a kid.
When she joins the cl...
I wake up this morning to an empty bed, usually either Keira or Kara are here but there not, I reach over and grab my phone to check the time it's 9:40. Next thing I can hear Kara crying down stairs, I decide to get up and go down. I walk into the kitchen and see Keira walking around with Kara in her arms crying. She's rubbing her back and cradling her. "What's wrong" I ask walking over kissing Keira and rubbing kara's back as-well. "Her tummy hurts" Keira says as she sits Kara up on the counter and gives her some medicine. She lifts her arms in my direction and I pick her up and cuddles her until she stops crying. "Did the medicine help" I ask kissing her head "Yeah" she says sweetly I pull out my phone and we take a picture, I send it to some of my family and I also post it on my instagram story.

We all relax on the sofa for another while before we have to to get dressed and leave. We put our bags into my car and drive to the ferry. The journey wasn't that long but when we got to the port in Dublin it was a 4 hour drive to my mums house. Kara is asleep in the back seat and Keira isn't far off it in the front seat either. I need to get fuel for my car so I pull into a garage, I can see a few people looking at my car and some are even taking pictures. I walk in and pay for my fuel and when I'm about to leave a group of girls walk up to me in football kits. "Can we get a picture" they all shout "Will you sign this" some more of them shout. After I sign everything they've asked me to their coach comes over and I work out that they are a football team. "I'm so sorry about them" she apologetically "No no it's ok" I say smiling "How about we take a group photo because I'm in a bit of a rush" they all nod and their coach takes it "Thanks so much" they all shout as I leave "Bye girls" I wave I get back in the car and sigh. "Your lucky they didn't see you" I say to Keira who is only laughing at me. We leave the garage and get back in the road for the 2 and a half hour journey that's left. We were about 10 minutes away from my mums house when Kara woke up. "Where are we mummy" "We're almost at Mary's house" Keira said to her. "Does she have sweets" Kara asks innocently and me and Keira both laugh. "Yeah she will kar" I say smiling. We sit in a comfortable silence until I pull into my mums driveway, I look around and see a load of other cars. "Oh god, she's obviously told people that we were coming" I say stressed "It's alright Lee, it's only family" she says trying to reassure me knowing how awkward I get "Yeah I know" I say as I take a deep breath and I look up to see my mom, dad, brother and sister all walking towards my car so I get out. "No fucking way, a g wagon" my brother shouts as he brings me into a hug and we laugh "Yeah, I guess one of us had to get the dream car didn't we" I say laughing "Hi love" my mum and dad both say as they hug me and then I hug my sister. Keira greets my family as-well while I walk around and lift Kara out of the car. I walk back around and she meets my family as-well "Hi Kara" my mum says to her "Hi" she says shyly as she buries her head in my neck "Come on then let's go in" my sister says and we follow her into the house but before we get in I pull Keira back for a second. "What are we telling them, I mean about Kara" I ask her "We'll what do you want to tell them" she asks me "We'll she's my daughter" I say looking at Kara lovingly "We'll than that's what we'll tell them" she says as she wraps a hand around my waist and I put an arm around my shoulder and have kara in my other arm. We walk into the house and out the back to where everyone was. "Hello" my Nan shouts before a few people walk over and greet us. I hug a few people and so does Keira but there is a few people here that she hasn't met before so I think it's only right to introduce them. After we've greeted everyone we stand back for a second before I say "Ah I know that a few people here have met Keira before but for anyone who doesn't know her" I pause and turn to Keira "this is my girlfriend Keira and this is our daughter kara" I say proudly now looking down at a shy kara.
